Depends on the PSU. If you have PSU with single rail, it does not matter at all. If you have multiple rail, it is better to use 2 cables.

Using a single cable per port is "better" but you can get away with one on a quality PSU (better gauge wire)

DRagor :

my PSU is CORSAIR HX1000 Series CP-9020139-NA 1000W ATX12V v2.4 / EPS12V 2.92 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Power Supply.

there is a switch for single and multiple on the PSU. should i keep it at single or multiple?

For such high wattage unit, multi rail seems to be safer option. See http://www.overclock.net/t/761202/single-rail-vs-multi-rail-explained
